Abstract:
A system and method is provided for publication and discovery of the presence of nearby users on a network. When the system is enabled, the presence of the local user is published on the network. Nearby users that also have a similar system enabled can discover the local user's presence on the network. Furthermore, the local user may discovery the presence of the other nearby users that are currently publishing their presence on the network.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, a processor-based system may include a processor, the processor having a processor identification, one or more electronic components coupled to the processor, at least one of the electronic components having a component identification, and a hardware security component coupled to the processor and the electronic component. The hardware security component may include a secure non-volatile memory and a controller. The controller may be configured to receive the processor identification from the processor, receive the at least one component identification from the one or more electronic components, and determine if a boot of the processor-based system is a provisioning boot of the processor-based system. If the boot is determined to be the provisioning boot, the controller may be configured to store a security code in the secure non-volatile memory, wherein the security code is based on the processor identification and the at least one component identification. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Abstract:
A method and system to adapt communication links statically and/or dynamically to their individual link conditions on a platform. The communicatively coupled devices have logic to adapt one or more settings of a respective one or more communication links with another device based at least in part on a respective metric of received data patterns from the respective one or more communication links. The communicatively coupled devices in the platform have a back channel to allow feedback or information to be sent from one receiving device to a transmitting device in one embodiment of the invention.
Abstract:
A body contact structure which reduce parasitic capacitance and improves body resistance of a device and methods of manufacture. The method includes forming a gate insulator material and gate electrode material on a substrate. The method further includes patterning the gate insulator material and the gate electrode material to form a gate structure having a shape with a first portion isolated from a second portion. The method further includes forming source and drain regions on sides of the first portion and a body contact at a side and under an area of the second portion, and forming an interlevel dielectric within a space that isolates the first portion from the second portion of the gate structure, and over the gate structure, source and drain regions and the body contact.
Abstract:
A plurality of gate structures are formed on a substrate. Each of the gate structures includes a first gate electrode and source and drain regions. The first gate electrode is removed from each of the gate structures. A first photoresist is applied to block gate structures having source regions in a source-down direction. A first halo implantation is performed in gate structures having source regions in a source-up direction at a first angle. The first photoresist is removed. A second photoresist is applied to block gate structures having source regions in a source-up direction. A second halo implantation is performed in gate structures having source regions in a source-down direction at a second angle. The second photoresist is removed. Replacement gate electrodes are formed in each of the gate structures.

The process of the invention is an improvement over the existing process of producing salt of high purity from alum-treated brine disclosed recently in the prior art. More particularly, the invention rectifies the ratio of Ca2+ to Mg2+ from a value
Abstract:
A fully depleted semiconductor-on-insulator (FDSOI) transistor structure includes a back gate electrode having a limited thickness and aligned to a front gate electrode. The back gate electrode is formed in a first substrate by ion implantation of dopants through a first oxide cap layer. Global alignment markers are formed in the first substrate to enable alignment of the front gate electrode to the back gate electrode. The global alignment markers enable preparation of a virtually flat substrate on the first substrate so that the first substrate can be bonded to a second substrate in a reliable manner.

Methods and apparatus relating to processor extensions for execution of secure embedded containers are described. In an embodiment, a scalable solution for manageability function is provided, e.g., for UMPC environments or otherwise where utilizing a dedicated processor or microcontroller for manageability is inappropriate or impractical. For example, in an embodiment, an OS (Operating System) or VMM (Virtual Machine Manager) Independent (generally referred to herein as “OI”) architecture involves creating one or more containers on a processor by dynamically partitioning resources (such as processor cycles, memory, devices) between the HOST OS/VMM and the OI container. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract:
A top semiconductor layer is formed with two different thicknesses such that a step is formed underneath a body region of a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) field effect transistor at the interface between a top semiconductor layer and an underlying buried insulator layer. The interface and the accompanying interfacial defects in the body region provide recombination centers, which increase the recombination rate between the holes and electrons in the body region. Optionally, a spacer portion, comprising a material that functions as recombination centers, is formed on sidewalls of the step to provide an enhanced recombination rate between holes and electrons in the body region, which increases the bipolar breakdown voltage of a SOI field effect transistor.
